Just One of Those Days..

Today is just one of those days.. You know one of those days where you sit and relax in your house..sweat pants on, hair tied, not caring what people think of your appearance. Eating pints of ice cream[not very healthy by the way] watching a LIFETIME movie that somehow always have you crying your eyes out at the end. Today is just one of those days...&& today that is my day...

Anatomy of a Murder: Jay-Z's "DOA(Death of a Auto-tune)"




Jay-Z may or may not have actual convictions about Auto-Tune, the pitch-correction technology that has made robotic vocal hiccups ubiquitous on hit radio. He definitely knows that publicity stunts are good for business. Which, presumably, is why he recorded "DOA (Death of Auto-Tune)," the broadside that premiered Friday night on New York's rap radio powerhouse Hot 97 and instantly became the talk of hip-hop.

Musically, "DOA" is a snooze. The beat, by (prime Auto-Tune Offender) Chicago producer No ID*, has walloping snare drum hits and soprano saxophone noodling—a stock old-school sound that signifies we are about to receive a schoolmarm's lesson in Real Hip-Hop. Which is what Jay-Z provides, or tries to, in a notably slack and witless recitation of would-be zinger-couplets: "I know we facing a recession/ But the music y'all making go'n' make it the Great Depression"; "This is just violent/ This is Death of Auto-Tune, moment of silence"; "This ain't a No. 1 record/ This is practically assault with a deadly weapon"; etc. To drive home the point that the track is Auto-Tune-free, the rapper's verses are interspersed with some painfully off-key warbling of the refrain from "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye."

Who exactly Jay-Z is taking on in this polemic is unclear. You would assume his targets areKanye WestLil Wayne, and T-Pain—the highest-profile Auto-Tune freaks—but in an interview on Hot 97, he excused those three on the grounds that their music has "great melodies." (Whether this is a virtue is complicated by a boast in "DOA": "My raps don't have melodies.") In lieu of picking a fight with human beings, Jay-Z disses technology itself, calling out not just pitch-correction software but iTunes and ringtones.  (We await the release of the rapper's forthcoming Blueprint 3 album for Jay-Z's rants against the cotton gin and the steam engine.) 

In other words, Jay-Z has slipped on his backpack and is playing the curmudgeonly hip-hop purist.  This is usually a bad omen—the sign of a rap career in precipitous decline—but Jay-Z is strategically astute. In an interview with MTV, Kanye let slip: "We actually removed all the songs [from Blueprint 3] with Auto-Tune to make the point that this is an anti-Auto-Tune album." Evidently, Jay-Z's disdain for Auto-Tune is late-breaking. Did he listen to his Auto-Tune-slathered new songs, realize he sounded silly—like an old man huffing and puffing to keep up with the kids—and opt to turn this shortcoming to his advantage? Production crazes in hip-hop have notoriously short shelf lives; with or without "DOA," Auto-Tune will soon fall out of favor and die of natural causes. But clever ol' Jay-Z has positioned himself to claim credit for a murder. 

 My Opinion: About damn time...If anybody had to call out the antics that auto-tune has put on the music industry..why not HOV..


Poem of the Day[#2]

They say good things come to those who wait.

Is that a lie, is this really true?

A person can wait forever and ever and never get what they want.

Time is a precious thing to waste..

She clearly wasted all her time.

Her love was prepaid

and her waiting for him everyday was  like a dollar off of her heart.

They say Love is everlasting?

How can this be everlasting when she was waiting for love to be delivered.

She was looking for love to be delivered in a UPS PACKAGE.

She was lookin for next day mail


They say love is blind.

And she needed glasses.


Lesson #2: Don't wait on love to come when you think you found the right  person...Love will come to everyone when it is necessary...So don't rush it..Love isnt something that you have to go out and find..-its something that just comes..and when it comes...you will know..

Poem of the Day[#1]

**The intelligence of a man doesn't mark his place in life. An intelligent man can be smart book wise, but a dummy street wise. Reality is a word that many people fear like the boogey man...-they think if you say reality in the mirror three times it will appear and chase after you......so people who refuse to face reality make up a facade of what they think life can be or what life will be....-and this facid or dream that they are living in suddenly stops when a life changing event happens...how can some ones innocence lead to their ignorance...-well a innocent person doesnt kno much about anything-so they question..-and most of the time misinterpret the true meaning behind things they are often confused about..-innocence is the brother of ignorance..-so they run neck and neck..-the only way to break the cycle of both is with knowledge...knowledge book wise..-and knowledge about reality..-knowing whats real..-whats not..and whats more likely to happen..**

Lesson #1
Don't judge someone because of their ignorance associated with their innocence..-If you choose to not help them understand something that they have no knowledge about, what does that make you look like?..it will make you both look like idiots..-so the next time someone isn't sure of something or they dont quite understand...help them out..you'll be doing not only them a favor but yourself one as well..

A Little Bit About Myself

...My thoughts..
The words that are processed in my mind and spoken out of my mouth are unheard by most ears. To hear and understand the words that I speak you have to have a sense of knowledge, integrity, and passion. My mind takes me on trips that allow the nouns,verbs & adjectives to form a mind of their own and twist and turn into words that pierce your soul and hypnotize your mind. 

...Who I Am...
I consider myself to be a person who has a lot to say.I have a story to tell and I want everyone to listen and follow along with me as I tell my story in words, thoughts, and feelings. Everything that I write have some truth to what I've gone through in my life...Not only would I express myself in words but also in fashion, music, and trendy topics. I am a poet, activist,believer, dreamer and a overachiever..you wanna challenge me?..-I dare you..

  **Follow me and I guarantee I will keep you interested...**
